Mirador de la Cumbre

Climb Description

Mirador de la Cumbre is a great climb and is suprisingly underused by cyclists - probably because the start is not situated particularly close to most of the hotels. There are fantastic views of the eastern coastline throughout the lower part of the climb, before the scenery becomes more forested and volcanic as you enter the Teide National Park. There are several miradores (viewpoints) around the top of the climb, and you will see the brown signs indicating them. These are certainly worth taking a slight detour to visit, as they take you above the trees with great views of Teide and the coast.

Mirador de la Cumbre could be considered as another route to Teide; however, the first part of the climb is quite distinctive in its profile to what comes after the Mirador, so it is worth classifying them as two separate ascents. To continue from the Mirador to El Teide, you will join up with the route from Santa Cruz at the 31km mark.

The climb to Mirador de la Cumbre is open throughout the year.
